NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal has raised over $2m for charity with his “SHAQ GIVES BACK" NFT drop.

⠀

The collection features 10,000 unique NFT avatars of Shaq, all with different t facial expressions, accessories and backgrounds, created by artist Kent Floris. On Monday, not long after the project launched, all of the NFTs were bought.

⠀

100% of the proceeds from the collection are going towards The Shaquille O’Neal Foundation, which creates pathways for underserved youth to help them achieve their full potential, along with bringing about change communities, collectively shaping a brighter future for children.

⠀

Shaq has been no stranger to charity, as every year, he hosts his annual Shaq-a-Claus event, providing tens of thousands of toys, clothing, and meals to underprivileged youth in America.
